what's the slope of a line that is parallel to the line

Question

y = 3/2x + 5

Answer 1

The equation of a line in slope-intercept form looks like:  y=mx+b

    where m=slope    and   the point (0,b) is the y-intercept

 

Important:  Parallel lines have the same slope (that is, m).

 

All lines parallel to the line y=(3/2)x+5 have the same slope of (3/2).

Answer 2

1.5 or 3/2
